And that Ferrari, if she wasn’t kept by someone, where did Hannah Taylor get the money to buy a luxury car worth millions?

Besides, it was Hannah Taylor herself who said that the car was a birthday gift from her old man. If she’s not a mistress, could she be in a May-December relationship?

Just look at that little flirt’s appearance; in her subjective mind, she’s just a kept woman.

So, seeing her walking closely with an old man, she jumped to conclusions without a second thought.

But there’s no way she’d say this out loud to Laura Jones.

Her forced explanation was clearly not sinking in, as evident from Laura Jones’s expression.

Selim was secretly anxious, and finally, not knowing how to defend herself, stomped her foot in vexation and said angrily:

"Laura, I’m just thinking about your reputation. How can you be so unappreciative?"

Saying this, as if angered by Laura Jones’s "unappreciative" attitude, she turned and ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her with a "bang."

After closing the door, Selim leaned against it, seemingly listening for footsteps outside, to see if Laura Jones intended to apologize to her.

Recalling the aura and attire of the old man who just walked out of the community with Hannah Taylor, he was clearly a wealthy billionaire.

If he were Hannah Taylor’s biological father, why would he need to rent an apartment in the community? Couldn’t he afford it?

Even if Laura Jones thought she was maliciously speculating about Hannah Taylor, Selim firmly believed that her guess and understanding were correct; that little flirt, Hannah Taylor, was indeed kept by the old man.

But she waited at the door for a long while and didn’t hear a sound from Laura Jones outside, leaving her feeling a bit disappointed and slightly uneasy.

Laura Jones looked at the slammed door, furrowing her brows, a touch of anger creeping onto her face.

She could maliciously speculate about Hannah Taylor, so what’s to stop her from doing the same to her?

When someone’s heart is tainted, everything they think of is tainted too.

Laura Jones shook her head with disappointment and didn’t bother with Selim any longer; she took the freshly printed contract and headed out.

Waiting inside the room, without seeing Laura Jones come to apologize, Selim grew anxious, pacing back and forth in the room.

She dared to show Laura Jones a sour face because she considered Laura’s typically soft nature.

She had known her for three years, and whatever request she had, Laura would always help without a second thought.

Over time, she realized Laura Jones was very soft-hearted; as long as you were forceful with her, she would compromise.

It was precisely because of this that she thought that as long as she got upset, Laura Jones would surely feel anxious, guilt-ridden, and come to apologize to her.

Then she’d offer a way out, along with asking her to stay away from Hannah, and everything would just naturally fall into place according to her plan.

But who would have known, Laura Jones would stand firm this time.

Is it because she firmly believes that Hannah and the old man are innocent, or does she actually have some clarity, even holding other calculations in her heart, like getting on good terms with Hannah might benefit her somehow, maybe even from the old man keeping Hannah?

At this thought, Selim’s eyes brightened, suddenly realizing something, and she slapped her thigh forcefully.

"Why didn’t I think of that? Why insist on falling out with Hannah when being on good terms with her could be more beneficial?"
